Texas Forceps & Vacuum Birth Injury Attorneys

Many Traumas after the Use of Forceps or Vacuum Extraction Are the Result of Malpractice

Advances in medical treatments have meant that your baby is far less likely to suffer harm during birth. Vacuum extractors or forceps may still be used if the baby is not moving easily enough from the mother. The implements themselves can be helpful but they can also cause severe harm to the infant if they are improperly used. Medical professionals are well-educated as to how these implements should be used and when. If an implement is applied incorrectly and causes harm, the negligent party should be held responsible for the resulting injuries.

Consequences of Improper Use of Delivery Implements

In urgent circumstances, medical professionals may decide that forceps or vacuum extractors are necessary. However, even though they are well-trained to use these tools, often infants suffer a birth injury due to a negligent mistake resulting from improper use. Some of these birth injuries are listed as follows:

Blood clots or hemorrhaging

Marks, bruising or swelling on the scalp

Hematoma

Facial nerve damage

Spinal cord damage

Cerebral palsy

Erb’s palsy

Shoulder dystocia

Death

Our attorneys believe that your baby´s health is the principal factor. Accordingly, we strive ensure that the medical professional responsible for harming your baby is held to account for their mistake. We do this by achieving compensation for you to assist with the costs of your child´s ongoing care.

The medical community tries to conceal the errors made by its members to avoid any liability. It is important that these medical professionals are held responsible for their actions to ensure they work towards a higher standard and hopefully stop another family from suffering as you have.

At The Hastings Law Firm, our attorneys work tenaciously throughout Texas on behalf of individuals and their families who have suffered due to medical negligence. If you believe that your baby has suffered trauma or death due to a negligent mistake, we strongly recommend you to contact our office to discuss your legal rights. We will arrange an initial complimentary and confidential consultation to help you understand your options going forward. Call us today at 281-466-1396 or write to us on the web to arrange your free first appointment. We further note that our cases are charged on a contingency basis. This means that you will not be charged a fee unless we obtain compensation on your behalf.
